We started the day with our usual breakfast of tea, boiled eggs, toast, cheese, and jam. I was sure to take my antibiotics today! We decided to spend the day exploring the Inca ruins near Cusco. We had been warned many times that we should not go alone, not go early or late, not take any valuables, not drive our car, not walk in remote parts of the ruins because of robbers. So we were a little nervous but we went alone, drove, took my cameras, and walked everywhere with no problems at all. The four ruins around Cusco are Sacsayhuaman (Tom loves to say that), Qenko, Puca Pucara and Tambo Machay. There are a lot of impressive stones, ceremonial baths, and beautiful views of Cusco.
We stayed at the ruins until we got hungry and then drove back down into Cusco for a wonderful dinner at PachaPapa Restaurant. I had trout and Tom had lomo cooked in a beautiful wood-burning oven. We just managed to finish before the rain started again.
